The University of Sussex offered their students a platform to express their thoughts, feelings and experiences about their life and studying in the UK as they progressed through their degree. Their journey was tracked through focus groups, blogs, vlogs and open forums to gain an insight into international students’ cultural adaptation to the UK. The findings aimed to directly shape the services offered and to help to ensure that university services are responding at appropriate times to the challenges being faced.
